A few flags flying at half-staff for the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings:

- Second Reformed Church

- Anderson Park

- The Green/Bergen County Courthouse area..........this is a 4-photo stitch, so click to enlarge and scroll to the right.

I really like the stitch of the Green.

Thanks.

I really wanted to get a stitch with all 3 flags unfurled, but the Hackensack one seemed to be made of lead thread. A little later, it unfurled somewhat while I was zoomed in a little closer, so I started another stitch.

I thought it would be a much better one, but the second and third images refused to merge. In fact, the third image (the NJ flag) knocked out the second one (US flag) from the final stitch and I was left with the two yellow flags, with The Green being a tiny triangle and the Church on the Green and its cemetery gone. It's kind of funny-looking, so I posted it below.

The only stitch I could then make that showed the Hackensack flag somewhat lively was a two-picture one (second image).
